Career Online High School (COHS) is an online high school diploma and career certification program. The Loveland Public Library provides a limited number of scholarships to qualified adult learners who are looking to expand their career opportunities, prepare for workforce entry, and continue their education.

Residents of Loveland who have completed eighth grade and are 19 years old or older are eligible to apply. Minors should pursue their high school education through existing high school programs. Program applicants must have a public library card in good standing or be willing to apply for a library card. Program applicants who have already received a standard high school diploma, or a high school equivalency diploma, are not eligible for this program.

Application Process

To start the scholarship application process, please fill out the self-assessment. After your assessment is reviewed for eligibility, you will be sent a link for a prerequisite course.

Applicants who successfully complete the online self-assessment and prerequisite course, followed by an in-person interview, will be considered for the scholarship.

Once enrolled in the Career Online High School program, each student will be assigned an academic coach who offers ongoing guidance, evaluates performance, and connects the student with the resources needed to master the courses.

Students will be given up to 18 months to complete the program.
